Good morning my fellow Lacquered Lovers! Happy Friday! I hope you're all having a lovely week so far! Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to be invited to the launch of Sephora's Formula X Fall 2014 nail polish line! There are some great goodies below so now, without further ado, onto the polish!
Above: Brushed Metallics
Above: Motivated (orange with gold shimmer) and Ambitious (bright yellow gold with gold shimmer)
Above: Mind Games (Green with Gold shimmer) and Discovery (teal with blue shimmer)
Above: Destiny (light blue with pink shimmer) and Prophecy (dark blue with purple and pink shimmer)
Above: Valor (purple with pink shimmer) and Spectacle (Magenta with pink and blue shimmer)
Above: Wonderment (beige with pink shimmer), Singularity (greige with blue shimmer) and Determined (brown with blue shimmer)
Above: Synapse (taupe with pink shimmer) and Fate (beige with blue shimmer)
The Brushed Metallic Collection consists of 8 jewel tones and 6 neutral nail polishes that are all full of mica and dry to a mostly matte finish. All of the shimmer is either pink or blue, some of them shifting between the two for a duochrome effect, however this is mostly only clear in the bottle or if you put a clear top coat on the polish. I love how rich the jewel tone shades are and how much the colored shimmer pops against the nudes!

Above: Impeccable, Atomic, Orbit, Pyrotechnic, Ignite, Dark Matter,Thrilling
Press Pods are a one use manicure capsule that Formula X has previously released that hold enough polish for one full manicure and comes with a brush attached for easy use. For Fall, they are releasing this kit with 7 colors (all existing) that are perfect for traveling! This kit will retail for $15, which is a huge value when most Formula X cremes retail for $10.50.
Above: The Cut - Enticing, Memorable, Grand
The Cut are 3 new cremes for Fall that reflect the urban landscape. They consist of a mustard yellow, a slate blue and a greige, all fairly neutral without being boring. I'm really digging that slate for Fall! That's my version of a palette cleanser polish.

All in all, I think Formula X is coming out with some cool things! I love the idea of the brushed metallics, and while I wish the shimmer showed more on the nail without a top coat, I think they are gorgeous jewel tones and neutrals for Fall. The Cut collection is a great mini Fall showing for those who like some out of the box colors like mustard and don't want to just do darks. The press pods would be great for travel and I'm actually looking forward to trying them! All of these polishes will be released August 1, 2014 at Sephora!
What did you think of these polishes? Any must haves? Any dupes?
